# TimedText

`public final class TimedText`
`extends Object` ``

java.lang.Object
↳ | android.media.TimedText

Class to hold the timed text's metadata, including:

- The characters for rendering
- The rendering position for the timed text

To render the timed text, applications need to do the following:

- Implement the `MediaPlayer.OnTimedTextListener` interface
- Register the `MediaPlayer.OnTimedTextListener` callback on a MediaPlayer object that is used for playback
- When a onTimedText callback is received, do the following:
  - call `getText()` to get the characters for rendering
  - call `getBounds()` to get the text rendering area/region

## Summary

### Public methods
`Rect` | `getBounds()` Get the rectangle area or region for rendering the timed text as specified by a Rect object.
`String` | `getText()` Get the characters in the timed text.

### Inherited methods
From class `java.lang.Object`
`Object` | `clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean` | `equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void` | `finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>` | `getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int` | `hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void` | `notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void` | `notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String` | `toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void` | `wait(long timeout, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void` | `wait(long timeout)` Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.
`final void` | `wait()` Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object.

## Public methods

### getBounds

    public Rect getBounds ()

Get the rectangle area or region for rendering the timed text as specified by a Rect object.

Returns
`Rect` | the rectangle region to render the characters in the timed text. If no bounds information is available (a null is returned), render the timed text at the center bottom of the display.

### getText

    public String getText ()

Get the characters in the timed text.

Returns
`String` | the characters as a String object in the TimedText. Applications should stop rendering previous timed text at the current rendering region if a null is returned, until the next non-null timed text is received.
